If it aint broke, don't fix it. I guess it'll just be the theme for the entire series to hit the same plot points, beat by beat, for the rest of the series. I will say that I enjoyed the pirate adventure backdrop of this book more than the first two, which is why I'm giving it three stars. If the trend continues, I'll probably get bored and rate the subsequent books lower. I'm curious to see where this story ends up, but I wouldn't say I'm very engaged.
